Peter Pan!

Peter Pan comes soaring through The Rogers Center  at Merrimack College …and into our hearts.    

ACTING OUT! Theater Company, a community theater group, will perform PETER PAN at The Rogers Center for the Arts at Merrimack College, February 7th, 8th and 9th, 2014!

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle tagging along with your own little Darling, I dare you not to have a grand time at this never-aging musical with its determinedly forever young hero!  Peter Pan gains altitude with such delightful standards as "I Gotta Crow", "Neverland" and the hit, "I'm Flying."   Don’t Miss the Darling children's adventures with Peter, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys of Neverland, pirates, Indians, Captain Hook and the ticking crocodile. Be transported to Neverland and back as Peter and the Darlings fly, courtesy of Flying by Foy, the same professionals who flew Mary Martin (1955 Tony Award winner for her portrayal of Peter) and Cathy Rigby on Broadway!  This classic show brings little bit of Broadway to the Merrimack Valley classic show-an event not to be missed!

Said Linda Schoonmaker, President/Director, “Having at least one child in tow is almost a prerequisite for seeing this musical; however its adult appeal goes beyond the pleasure of seeing the three siblings and Peter fly off to Neverland; this timeless fantasy tugs at our heartstrings and recalls those memories of our childhood that make us believe in the magic of Peter Pan.“
